NO NEW PRISONS
The Carceral Infrastructure Project
Prisons and jails are the architecture of mass incarceration. Working with organizers across the country, we are helping lead the fight to stop them from being built.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
The Defending Prison Journalism Project
Prisons and the harm they inflict are intentionally hidden away from society’s truth-seekers—its journalists, its documentarians, and its scholars. Ending mass incarceration requires getting news about prison life out from behind the concrete veil. We are helping build legal protections that will empower incarcerated and nonincarcerated reporters as they pursue searching and searing prison journalism.
DEFENDANTS UNITED
The Collective Defense Project
Standing alone, people facing prosecution are hit with the full force of the penal system. Standing together they could well force its radical decarceration. We are working to help strategize how.
SUPPORTING A MOVEMENT
Our Amicus and Advocacy Work
Our work is not limited to courtrooms or classrooms. You can also find us supporting the movement to end mass incarceration by collaborating on amicus briefs, joining advocacy letters, publishing public commentary, and testifying before legislative bodies.
